Rainbow Six Italian Operator LEAK: When will new operators release on PS4, Xbox One and PC

Rainbow Six fans are eager to learn when the new operators for Siege will release.

We might already know what to expect from the new content drop from Ubisoft thanks to some leaks a few weeks back.

For now, we know these operators are known as Alibi and Maestro - and both come from an Italian background.

So far, PC Gamer has noted that the new operators are wearing the insignia of GIS - the 'Gruppo di Intervento Speciale' which is the "airborne counter-terrorism unit of Italy's Carabinieri military police force."

Fans are getting restless about when we can expect these new characters, though.

It seems we can probably expect the new Operators to drop early June, if the roadmap is anything to go by.

Each season is three months long, and we got the last operators at the beginning of March: therefore we can likely see the new characters - and maybe some extra content - will drop in June.

Rainbow Six Siege - Italian Operators LEAK

Take a look at two new operators who could be coming to the game very soon.

1 / 4

Reddit user Artex3 did some further digging into the game client and found further clues as to the weapons the operators could be using, as well as some further clues about Maestro's potential gadget, which apparently won't be a bulletproof camera.

Keep reading to read over some of Artex3's new operator analysis.

Weapons

Definitely the best part of this post, there seems to be every Italian weapons in the assets already:

There might be more, but I haven't found them. I'm pretty hyped for sure, if any of you have an idea for the Baliff410 I'm listening.

It's unclear if the AA-12 will be used by Maestro (since he has a lot of shotgun shells on his picture) or if it will be used in the season after.

Maestro

The first thing that I can tell, and many of you already suspected it, Maestro's gadget isnotthe bulletproof camera, it is pretty certain it will be for an S3/S4 operator (a Delta Force op that worked with Valkyrie ? Just grasping at straws)."

I found, however, some reference to the "AutoTurret" gadget, it's been added a few seasons ago already. See image below for the strings of code.

Hard to judge how it will work, other than the fact it's deployable, there is however, an icon on the HUD, and one if the turret is being fired (or fired at ?). His movement seems to be impacted also by his gadget, but it's unclear how or why yet.

Another Redditor has also suggested that the new map we see arrive with the new two operators could be linked to the operators themselves.

mikeverwegen argued that every operator tends to have equipment corresponding to their map. For instance:

Buck and Frost wear winter outfits because of Yacht.

Hibana and Echo had rappeling gear because of Skyscraper.

Jackal and Mira both have diving gear because of Coastline.

Lion and Finka have hazmat suits because of Outbreak.

"The new Italian operators seem to be from a parachute unit and their uniforms seem to acknowledge this. Since they are from a parachute unit in Tuscany, do you think that their equipment will have anything to do with the map (or it's surroundings)?"

It's an interesting thought and hopefully something that in the weeks ahead will be explored a bit more as Ubisoft starts to tease the new operators for the game.

Certainly, though, it won't be coming before April 3, which is when the current Outbreak event is scheduled to end.
